I was diagnosed with COVID about 16 days ago and spent 3 days in the hospital. They sent me home once my CRP level was below 2. Now, 10 days later, my CRP is at 4.4. I'm taking Medrol 16 mg and Ecosprin 150 mg, but its gone up. Should I be concerned about this increase?

I'm feeling pretty miserable with a runny nose, headache, and a bit of a fever since yesterday. I tried taking some nimesulide and paracetamol, but it hasn't helped at all. Can you suggest something that might actually work? I'm really looking for the best prescription you could recommend.

I'm curious about the long-term effects of working night shifts. I've been at it for over three years, and I've read that it can cause physical health issues over time. Is that true? If so, how serious can these problems get? Also, are there any specific precautions I can take to minimize these health risks?

Yes night shift duties would cause lack sleep and rest which leads to serious problems like high cholesterol,diabetes,hypertension,acidity etc.,manage your sleep schedule in a healthy way and take adequate rest

I've just gotten over the flu, but now I'm dealing with a really sore throat and these swollen lymph nodes on each side of the back of my neck. I've also been sweating a lot at night and my scalp itches. Should I be worried about any of this? What could be causing these symptoms?
